A number CT large and interesting
birds have become extinct within recent
times. OF these the ~epiornis, of NADIA
gascar, was probably the largest. Fossil
fragments indicate that this creature was
at least twelve feet in height, with a
weight lvo or six times as great as that
of the ostrich. Specimens of its eggs have
been found and measure nearly thirteen
and q half inches in largest diameter by
nine inches in smallest diameter, with a
capacity Of nearly eight quarts. The
moa, or dinornis, of New Zealand, was
also larger than any bird now living, its
height having been ten or twelve feet.
Its "drumstick" was thirty to t~hirty-two
inches long and its eggs SO large that a
hat would make q good g cup for
them.
Tho famous dodo, a fifty pound bird of
Mauritius, was once well known to the
Dutch, but has not been reported ns seen
during tho Lest 200 years. The solitaire

THE chamber of of New
York proposes to concern itself for the
defense of the harbor OF that city. What
is Immediately proposed is the purchase
OF eight or ten rams, the presence of
which in the harbor would at least afford
a sense Of security. The ultimate aim,
however. doubtless is to bring an inHu
ence to bear upon the next congress, which
it Is hoped will induce it TO adopt thor
ough and practicable means of defense.
There is no impending danger. SO far as
can be seen, of New York being placed at
the mercy of the guns of a foreign enemy,
but o q the less the question of a thor
ough defensive system there is timely,
and the chamber of commerce does well in
giving 1t attention. 1t should not abate

Work was begun in 1885 on tho greet
wine tun of Toledo, o., Eut the solid
American oak of which it Wa built was
drying in a Kiln for six years prior to
that. Its oaken slaves are twenty-one
feet long and six inches square. In tie
rough. six of them formed a load for a
two horse team. With tho utmost nicely
they were put in place until, as n whole,
they measured over sixty feet in circum-
ference. Through the center of the tun,
where II curves outward in q hure swell,
it measures twenty-one feet; the diameter
at the ends is eighteen feet. 1t contains
sc, coo gallons of dry wine. To with
stand the enormous pressure of this bulk,
three iron rods are carried from end to
end, where they are riveted in oal5cn
beams of greet size and strength. The
hoops are OF iron. There are fourteen of
them and they weigh three tons. Each
hoop is six inches broad and about third
of an inch in thickness. They are well
grooned hoops, and shine as if in CON
slant contact with an emery wheel.
But everything about tho great tun be-
tokens the great care that is taken of it,
Its oaken surface is polished to such a
degree that the sun loves to creep in
through the prison like windows and
dance upon its shining bulk. The huge
brass spigot glitters like gold fresh from
the c%oiner's hand. The oaken platform
that faces its tremendous head, and the
oaken stairway that winds around the
base and enables the visitor to look down
upon the mammoth, glisten under fire.
quent coats of varnisli. A blow upon
this iron ribbed body makes no imprcs-
sion unless the ear be placed close to the
wood; then the sound is like the last gasp
OF a thunder clap. Days and days were
occupied in filling it with catawba made
from grapes that grow on islands in Put
in Bay, where Commodore Perry taught
John Bull a lesson some years ago. And
when the tun was full, when SO, coo
gallons of wine had beer poured into the
vast interior, there was much rejoicing
in the immediate vicinity, and all who
witnessed the completion of the process
felt in duty bound to drink to the health
of the Toledo tun, and to Go SO in such
unstinted measure that the occasion is
likely never to be forgotten by those who
participated.-Cor. New York Times

The Conductors Reply.

The tram hands on the Boston and
Maine, when a train is entering the Bos-
ton depot, call, Boston; this train goes
no further" This is a thoughtful pro
vision that prevents passengers being
carried by Boston. That it is not un-
called for is shown by an incident that
happened the other day, when en- elderly
traveller asked of the conductor, in APP
parent good faith: Does this train stop
at Boston," The conductor said it did
